well, I figured out what the problem was. I took a drive over to a buddies place and I kept hearing the clunking. So I got under the Jeep when I got to my friends place, and sure enough, one of the bump stops was backwards. I had taken care to make sure they were installed correctly, but had to take one back off to tighten up a control arm bolt... at which point it was 11pm and I guess I goofed on putting the bump stop extension back on. Glad it was an easy fix The Jeep is riding nice now that I have flipped the bump stop extension around. I think I'll get some new shocks over the next little bit though.

Just to let you know, my Superlift took me 17hrs straight and a case of beer. Probably woulda got done in 5 if it weren't for the beer breaks and staring at my accomplishments. haha

haha... man, the sad part is I was completely sober for the whole thing. I spent damn near 13 hours over 2 days to install what is supposed to be one of the easiest lifts to install. For what it's worth, I was a bit hungover when I started, but I don't think that really hurt my time... I'm just.... bad at stuff.
